Warm Ups

WARM UP GAMES are useful in various situations. In workshops they can be used to address certain issues that improvisers have difficulty with or to address a class situation like 'low energy' or 'lack of attention'. Understand the worth of each game and use them accordingly. Overuse and focus of use in performance can be detrimental. Keith Johnstone suggests that the best way to "WARM UP" for a show is to run around the block. Get your lungs full of air.

(we should categorize this warm-ups by: energy, focus, physicalization, verbal)
